Baroque pearls

Baroque pearls are the black sheep of the jewellery world. Unlike their perfectly spherical counterparts, they are coveted for their irregular shape. Bursting with personality and individuality, they come in all shapes and sizes and can resemble everything from drops to snowmen, a term coined by Australian jewellery designer Margot McKinney to describe "double" baroques that resemble two pearls fused together. Find out what happened when McKinney bought an entire pearl harvest of beautiful baroques last summer in our article below.
